The Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs is a cross-border exchange programme which gives new or aspiring entrepreneurs the chance to acquire the skills needed to run a small company and exchange knowledge and business ideas with an experienced entrepreneur, with whom they stay and collaborate for a period of 1 to 6 months.

While the host experienced entrepreneur benefits from fresh perspectives on their business and the opportunity to cooperate with foreign partners, establish new commercial relationships and enhance access to the European markets.

The exchange is financially supported by the European Commission meaning that the new entrepreneur’s expenses are paid for, leaving the host free to benefit from new ideas and insights.
